When in the age of gender benders . . . not trying to be political here. But everybody always needs that little something extra to make a hook up, right? The picture was misleading; it looks like you a female/male USB-C connector but, no, it's wired to the unit. I needed the female out for my set up. So it took an Amazon visit to get a female-female to complete my need.
Other than that, having the video/data punch that I needed, it's working just as designed. A little pricey but it does the trick.

About 15 years ago, I was getting carpal tunnel syndrome frequently so I needed a change. Enter the Logitech Trackball line up. No CTS since then. I've the wired up to the latest MX Ergo wireless. I dropped back down to this model since the more expensive one has more buttons that I never used except when I accidentally pushed them! Good trackball but I don't need all those buttons. But they may be great for anyone who does like and use them.
The biggest "drawback" is getting use to the mouse/trackball difference. In my case, it's a "never going back" to mouse . . . ever. I like it but it may not be for everyone.

If you have a computer, expansion is always a day away! Since I like to tinker with a lot of programs, my 500GB 980EV is still doing the job but I'm down to about 100GB free and playing around with new stuff. So to be safe for space, I cloned and upgraded to this as the boot drive. Working well so far.

A very convenient way to clone my existing 500GB boot drive to a 1TB to make up space limitations. 500 was fine but I recently started playing around with the Artificial Intelligence which tends to use a lot of Python with upgrades and other backend support progs and some items insist on C: for whatever reasons. Most of my data resides on separate hard drives for the AI models and such but this gives me headroom on my boot drive.
This can also be used somewhat like thumb drive with an NVMe card (which tends to offer higher capacities. It's easy to load a card, too. Just make sure your heatsink tape (provided for one card) is installed. It can get warm.

I replaced a similar (different brand) chair with the reclining feature and the footrest because the welds had broke on one side losing the arm and recently the seat tubing went also. So I found this one for about $75 more than I previously paid. The Arrozi does have a flat wooden seat base which may be more durable. The color is nice but full black would have been fine. Time will tell if the arm strength holds up; just held with two bolts per arm which--fully tightened-- still seems a little wobbly. They do control the recline so maybe that's why. I might have to move up to the $400 range for more beefiness if this one doesn't last for the two year stretch like the other one.

I consider Logitech a necessity. It alleviates the "one inch too short reach" problem depending on where you need/want to put it. "Cut the cable!" Insert the Logitech dongle and place your kybd/mouse where it's most convenient.
Early on, battery life on wireless products was an issue, but Logitech's refinement has alleviated the issue. Efficient now! No more every 30 days . . . maybe 6 months or more plus. The other Logitech compact offerings in combo or separately work just as well if you have less room, too;

In our small office (under 10 persons) I had been using HP printers and had problems. So I switched about 10 years ago to Brother and never looked back. I use this model and others the J4335 (more compact but discontinued?) at their desks. Convenient scanner, too. Does well!

We've been upgrading our office workstations for a company of under 10 people with these units. The Ryzen 7 combined with the 1TB SSD gives a competent platform for the daily duties in the office at a comfortable price point. I have made the past mistake of trying to get away with $4-500 which tend to be under powered even for simple tasks while running our security camera software (web-based with the demands of bandwidth vs. video sharing with the RAM) but so far 16GB is holding up for daily tasks. I can always add an 8GB video card (<$100) if demand grows. But for now, it works well.
The biggest bugaboo with most off-the-shelf brands is uninstalling all the promotional crapware/software BEFORE I put a) mostly an HP) box in service. Then you get to the Microsoft Account headache on everything but that's not HP's fault for that. Take your time and clean her up a bit and she'll run just great in your office.

Additional state or local requirements may apply. Check your local jurisdiction. The following websites may help you make informed decisions about flying your drone: www.knowbeforeyoufly.org and www.modelaircraft.org.
Is this 2 more batteries as shown (with another one powering the drone) or just 2 total in pkg? I assume the latter. Nice deal either way but 3 would be excellent!

Will this work with Sony XR-65X-95K tv and Optimum cable box?
With every remote for the past 20 years or so, the mfg gives a list of categorized codes printed in font size -10 in neutral grey ink to punch into remotes to find the working formula. This is no different. I go to the mfg website and download the pdf manual so I can ZOOM in. Much easier! No pain, no gain!

The Insignia Universal AC Adapter is designed for devices requiring a round-pin connector (not for use with laptops).

Its adjustable voltage gives you the flexibility to choose the precise voltage you need, while an included USB port lets you power devices such as phone chargers.
will this work on a sony UBP-X700 blu ray player?
From the information provided: A device is compatible if the 1) correct tip is available, 2) voltage is between 3 and 12 V DC, 3) input does not require more than 1.3 A of current, and 4) polarity is positive. Not for use with laptops.
You need to compare the specs on your defunct power supply to see if they match. For instance, if voltage (it has a switchable voltage!) matches. If the plug fits. And if your old one doesn't require 2 or 3 amps or above, you're good.

Im not tech savy . So that being said , does this operate wirelessly from my modem and or my cell phone ?
No, not @ $49.95 or so. It has a wireless remote, though. And you could hook up a device with the proper mini-stereo cable if your phone has the out jack on it. I've posted in other questions that the speakers on this is atrocious. However, I connected the speakers from its predecessor which sounded great.

Large devices like a TV with an external power supply USUALLY are similar in power consumption to laptop. This unit is designed to replace the power of something that would be using batteries like AA,AAA, C, D or 9V. TV's and laptops have heavier current needs than this would handle.

Will this work for arcade1up turtles machine??
I don't know that device. What's important when replacing the power supply of anything is to compare voltage, wattage and amperage. This unit works from 12V to 3V (or the voltage of two AA, AAA, C or D common battery@1.5V each.) This has a 1.3 amp upper limit and a wattage output of 15W. These are the two critical measurements! If your device draws more than 1.3 amps, this supply will work for a little while until it burns out minutes later! Or your house whichever goes first . . . This also why the put the comment "Not to be used for laptops." They draw too much current for this little thing. Generally speaking, if your device can use AA,AAA, C,D or 9 volt batteries, you're good. Most devices that use external power supplies will have voltage and amperage marked on its case by the power jack or if you have it's old power supply, it'll be marked. If your device exceeds those of the power supply, look for a better supply. Be safe!
